New Deathsucker Releases!

Krumble (aka The Disco Breaker) returns to Death$ucker for an assault on the senses. "Autobahn" is a drum & bass tearout with the deepest synth bassline you’re ever likely to hear. It's been getting plenty of requests and heaps of playouts by label boss Parasite. On the flip "Bass Line Vision" delivers the chopped amen madness we've come to love from Krumble, on this older but as yet unreleased track. Cut in the UK for maximum dancefloor pressure. Limited to 300 copies Wordwide.

Two of Europe's finest junglists Junglefever (Amen Warfare/ Lickshot Recordings) and Stivs (Life4Land) combine forces to launch their new label Bomba Cut Recordings with a little help from Death$ucker Records. Both are veterans in the scene and bring their talents to the dancefloor with this collectable 7" banger. Influenced by sound clash, dancehall and the DIY mentality of reggae sound systems, Bomba Cut Recordings focuses on releasing the best in tear out ragga-junglecore offering like-minded dj's and selecta's the necessary ammo for any sound clash.

Wrong Music Head Back To The Black Swan! For Some Birthday Messyness

Celebrating the Birthdays of:

We're heading back to the legendary Black Swan, and this time its extra special, as Demon Cabbage, Taz Buckfaster, Kanji Kinetic, and Squire Of Gothos all celebrate their birthdays! Bringing a whole crew of friends with them to come and play and party. With over 20k of rig! and added Micro Rave Massive!

Born in Poland, raised in the USA and schooled in Japan, Bogdan finally arrived in Europe via a homeless spell busking on the streets of Tokyo. Wherever he went he was always creating new music and in '99 he was signed to Richard D James' Rephlex Records. He went on to produce a slew of groundbreaking records for the lable including a collaboration with Bjork in 2005 and several critically aclaimed albums and EPs. His live shows are incomparable, you will never be the same after witnessing one….

Barry Lynn is the hugely talented and imaginative producer behind Boxcutter. After releases on Hotflush, Planet Mu snapped up his debut album Oneiric and have since released the Tauhid EP and his next two albums Glyphic and Arecibo Message. Genuinely innovative and wide ranging Boxcutter’s music has a dubstep foundation but demonstrates elements of acid house, jazz, garage, jungle and IDM amongst others styles. His 2 hour set in room two is sure to be quite a journey.

With influences from Autechre to Blondie via Lee "Scratch" Perry, Black Sabath and Jeff mills Kid 606’s eclectic and wonderfully irreverant music has rocked dancefloors the world over. With releases on his own Tigerbeat6, Shockout, and Tigerbass lables and countless others, the ever evolving Kid continues to surprise and amaze.

Mathis Mootz, the teutonic mastermind and producer behind The Panacea from Wuerzburg, Germany, has developed and perfected his sinister drum and Bass mashup style over the years. His fierce and uncompromising sets are fueled by wreck-step beats and feature elements of hardcore techno, drum'n'bass, jungle and industrial to create a unique and explosive sound.

A true pioneer of UK electronic music, Neil Landstrumm has released work on many of the most recognised labels in the industry since 1994, including Peacefrog, Tresor and Planet Mu. He is an artist who always seems to be at the spearhead of experimental, low frequency electronics, straddling genres with an ease that his imitators have struggled to achieve. Landstrumm's amazing new live show weaves British electronic heritage into a thoroughly modern bass experience.

A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last decade as one of the most arresting artists from his generation. Freely playing samplers, keyboards and self-made instruments, ‘The Sound Originator’ Goth-Trad creates remarkable dance music with an abstract approach. With releases on lables such as Planet Mu, Deep Medi, Disfigured Dubz and Soul Jazz Records Goth Trad has undoubtedly put his stamp on the scene. As Hyperdub label head Kode 9 put it ‘Goth-Trad is a one-man army’, his relentless tour of live shows have always left every audience wanting more.

Point B is the creation of writer and producer Richard Bultitude. His music is an intriguing, textured and bass rich take on the Dubstep/2-step sound. Fans of his electronic peers such as Burial, Autechre and Tipper will find this potent brew infused with reflection and bittersweet calm.

Kid Kameleon is in his 2nd decade mixing and matching every break- and bass-derived genre under the sun, from hip-hop, dancehall, glitch and downtempo to dubstep, jungle breakcore, club and experimental. He has been part of the ground breaking Soundlab (New York), Shockout (Oakland) and Surya Dub (San Francisco) crews and writes for XLR8R magazine on all things bass-related.

Tinker is the resident laptop mistress of the long-standing and well-respected San Francisco arts collective False Profit. Recently her tunes have been getting serious attention in the fertile west coast music scene. Her shows are sure to put smiles on faces and wiggles in hips.

Bristols finest and Death$ucker head honcho Parasite is sure to get the party jumpin as he always does with his jungle/breakcore tearout sets. VJ genius Anakissed will be providing an exclusive visual treat to feed the senses!

Missaw is The Centrifuge’s founder, label curator and resident miscreant. Known for his versatility behind the decks, for this event he'll be packing a stack of acid and drill'n'bass that has shattered unsuspecting speakers and eardums across Europe this year.
